The wind off the Mediterranean tugs at your harness as the pilot counts down; within heartbeats the shoreline falls away and Cleopatra Beach stretches beneath you, a ribbon of sand and turquoise water. From the air the limestone headlands around Alanya look sculpted—ridges and coves carved by sea and sun—while the Taurus range fences the coast with jagged green ridges that push the sky.
